Chords for Billy Connolly - Four Letter Word

_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
There was a young man [C] from the BBC
His [D] name was Ken Tynan and I'm sure [G] you'll agree
He dropped a real clanger [C] that night when we heard
Him [D] using a one, two, three, four [G] letter word
A four letter word, [C] a four letter word
[D] To ban it would [G] be a shame
It's honest, it's [C] earthy, it ought to be heard
That [D] wonderful one, two, three, four letter [G] word
_ That was a chorus _
It's banded around by [C] the kids for a lark
[D] It's put into practice as soon as [G] it's dark
It's done every night [C] by the rich and the poor
To [D] do it is worse than to [G] say it, I'm sure
A four letter word, [C] a four letter [D] word
To ban it would be [G] a shame
Get in there, it's honest, it's earthy, [C] that's the stuff
Sing up [D] that wonderful one, two, three, four letter [G] word
_ I don't believe it
_ _ _ What a given
It _ shouldn't be said [C] in polite company
[G] When [D] aged old ladies are [G] sipping their tea
But if those ladies' [C] pasts were revealed, sure as hell
They've [D] not only said it, they've [G] done it as well
A four letter [C] word, a four letter word
To [D] ban it would be a [G] shame
That's the game
It's honest, it's earthy, [C] it ought to _ [G] [D] be heard
_ _ _ _ [G] Four letter word
[C] Hoo, [G] hoo, hoo, I do, hoo _
[N] Well done _ _ _ _
